The organized farmers are in danger of the same pitfalls that organ­ ized labor knows so well--namely, irres­ ponsible and loud-mouthed "leaden who are in the farmers' movement for 'What there is in it. fife The National Xcaae. The Ohio campaign progresses favora­ bly, aud it becomes more and woro ap­ parent that the only question is the si«e* of Major McKinley'* majority. In the canvass of the State Governor Campbells furnishes the most amusement by his speeches, is the most witty and the most ready, and always pleases his audiences, but while they listen and are entertained, they are not convinced as they are by Mr. McKinley's logical speeches, devoid of any attempt to amuse, but appealing to reason. He has, too, the advantage that he can back up his arguments with present facts. What was before a theory has been demonstrated in actual prac­ tice. The country was never more pros­ perous and the outlook for the future was never more promising. At home indus­ tries are increasing theircapacity for pro­ duction and new industries are constant­ ly being added both by home capital and by the moving in of manufacturers from outside the tariff line. At the same time new markets have been opened for our products through the medium of the rec­ iprocity clause of the tariff bill. All these facts are arguments in themselves and Mr. McKinley has but to state them to justify his position. Such was the tenor of his speech at Painesvllle, on the West­ ern Reserve. He said: What we want in this country^ to what­ ever party we may have belonged in the past, are good markets, good money, good wages and Steady employment: and when we have these we have the very perfection of prosperity--indeed, the very perfection of highest civilization. We have in this country to-day prosperity without a parallel in the world's history. There is not a man anywhere who cannot get work. There is^jpt any one who has crops or merchandise to sell who cannot find buyers in this country. I believe1 that the policy which is maintained by the Republican party, by the protection party of the country, is best calculated to secure the advantages I have named. I believe that under that system we are able to pay better wages and give steady work and give better markets for our crops and labor than under any other system. It is said that, in this country, protection concentrates wealth in the hands of a few; yet, if we will reflect, in free trade England wealth is much more" concentrated in the hands of a few than it is in protected United States.. There is no country in the world whose wealth is generally diffused as in the United States. There is no country in the world where so many of the people own their own homes as in the United States. There is no country in the world where many workingmen have savings in the savinsrs institutions as in the United; States. You cannot have free trade in this country unless you level the condi­ tions of American workingmen down to the conditions of European workingmen. They say that the manufacturers and capitalists get the benefit of protection. You hear that every day from those who seem to want free trade. If the working-s man gets 50 cents a day on the other side of the water, and comes here and gets f2 a day, who gets the dollar and a half? Is not that true? If the pay over there is 75 cents a day and the pay' here is $2.25 a day. if the manufacturer is able to give you $2.25 because of the protective tariff, who gets the dollar and half? Not the manufacturer, nor the capitalist, but the man who works. That states the case plainly and every one can understand it. Each ong can tell out of his own personal experience whether it is true or not, y iul each is com­ pelled to answer affirmatively.

In Georgia the members are declaring by formal res­ olutions that "since our leaders are try­ ing to keep the Alliance in the Demo­ cratic party to our ruin, we declare our­ selves independent of old parties and pledge our individual support to the People's party." It certainly is a wise course and may result in much good lor the South. I0T Secretary Blaine's bealt^, continues to improve and it is announced that he will soon resume his duties. What new thing in diplomacy will then be pro­ posed? For whether at Washington or elsewhere, Blaine's brain is always busy "with some scheme for the extentaon of the influence of the nation. He has al­ ready accomplished as much as wonld ihave been sufficient credit for l»*lf fdozen aduinistratidiii'. IfiTOur new Circuit Judge has been If- "V holding Court in several of the counties I* since his election, and is well liked.

ILLINOIS f rostmaeter-Qeneral W aaamaker has given it as his opinion that universal free delivery of mail matter in farming districts, as well as in cities and villages, can be established successfully and at a profit to the government. The value to dwellers in scattered communities of such a notable extension of the post- office service would be very great. The representatives of farmers' organizations who have urged thisextension are quite right in declaring that it would add materially to the value of their lands by putting them in direct communication with the outer world. Everybody knows how busy Col, Bob" Ingersoll is, but everybody does not know that, no matter how busy he may be, he always has a moment orsoto spare to give advice to the young. Quite a number of letters cotne to him every week, soliciting knowledge on almost every subject. The other day one of these letters came to him when he was head and heels in work. It began: "Dear Sir am broken-hearted."--Colonel "Bob' hadn't time to read more, but he made time to return a prompt reply. He wrote: "My Dear Boy: In a month from now'you will feel only half broken hearted. In six months yon won't fed broken-hearted at all, and in a year you will probably be engaged to some other girl. Blaine Points out that while the McKinley bill did not, in the first draft, open the market for another bushel of wheat or another pound of pork, it aid contain, on its passage, just such provisions, and the tariff law aa it stands is not open to any such criticism On the contrary, by it, the markets of Brazil and Cuba have been opened to American products, and other treaties of reciprocity are in progress of negotiation. Germany and France, without waiting for a special treaty, have removed the embargo from American pork, and gov­ ernment, in consideration has left German beet sugar on the free list. It has greatly enlarged our export trade, particularly in flour and pork. The Ohio democrats were using Mr. Blaine's statement, made for the purpose of having the reciprocity clause put in tbe tariff bill, as if it was a criticism on the law in which his advice been complied with. They get no action from Mr. Blaine. He is en- in accord with Mr. ..J tbe tariff law a« it tST Mr. Blaine's letter settles the ques­ tion as to his views on the tariff and the McKinley bill, if any settlement were needed. The fact is, he has always been a most ardent protectionist, and it was he who threw down the gage of battle to Cleveland when the latter sent his free trade message to Congress. Mr. Blaine deemed the matter so important that he had two or three columns in answer thereto cabled to the New York papers from London where he happened to be at the date the message appeared. His opinion of the McKinley bill was expressed the day it was signed by the president in his room at the capitpl. "It is the great­ est measure which has passed congress for years," said Mr. Blaine, and as the president's secretary took up a- paid to "blot" the signature, Mr. Blaine stopped him saying: Let the ink dry on the signature to that document. It cannot be too bold."--Minneapolis Tribune., We have a few odd Coats,'sue 36 to 38 Price |2.00 each. Regular price $7.00 l>o you need any ? JOHN EVANBON & F. K. GRANGER, 1 General Auctioneer.
